What Causes Fainting,sweating And Body Tremors?

a few weeks ago, i fainted for the first time. It happened again this morning. Both times I was shaking and felt sweaty and they occurred shortly after I have woken up. I wondered if this was a sign of any illness. I suspect it is related to low blood pressure.
Thank you.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello,

It does sound as if low pressure is the most likely culprit. You should be very certain that you are well hydrated, having been fully engaged in good nutrition and not skipping meals. However, twice in three weeks. I think you should get an appointment at least with your primary doctor to discuss things so that they are aware of what's going on otherwise, there could be other organ systems at play and it could get more frequent and more troublesome unless the exact reason can be tracked down. If I were your primary doctor my move would be to send you to see either a cardiologist or neurologist unless I was 100% sure that the spells were due to nothing more than controllable hypotension in which case I would definitely improve the blood pressure situation so that it didn't happen again.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi
